I'm keeping this weird LJ silence for no good reason, but I have to bring this to you, guys.
This is one of my favorite artists right now covering one of my favorite artists ever's best songs.
There's a lot of debate going on whether this is a good cover or not, so let me throw my $.02 in: Robyn creates music she likes to dance to. She's said so herself many times. If so, this cover does justice to both her and Björk, because it shows respect to the original and puts a new spin on it at the same time. Robyn's dance sound is a lot more outright Europop than Björk's has ever been. However, I feel like Robyn is really just starting now to do her thing, and Björk's obviously already there. To me, this spells a lot of promise for Robyn. And the fact that Björk just won the same über prestigious award Joni Mitchell was the first female winner of makes me very very :DDDDD!!!
Also, I want this on my iPod.
